Introductions:
Scott from Oregon. Retire Navy of 22 years, Husbend for 16 and father of 2. In the past year I have been in life style change mode to get myself healthy again and be "an example" for my kids. I am 45 and 5'7" and used to weigh close to 200 pounds after I had retired I got very lazy. To much wrong food and to much laying around. Last year I had had enough and around March I changed up what I was eating, went out and got me some equipment and went to work. I am now on the 165 platue and need to change things up again. After talking with Dave I see that my Cal intake is to low. Still on Mayo Clinic eating plan. So no I am prepping for starting P90X soon. Before I start I am going to finalize my eating plan 1st as I procure the other items I'll need. One of the things I am looking at is the recovery drink. In the past, not presently, I have used Pro-Complex for this purpose. I am a early exerciser...5am-630am so I have a delima on pre and post work out meals. The only other time I could workout would be in the late PM after dinner, which is normally reserved for family time which I am not filling to give up, although I am finding myself doing Just Dance Wii with my kids...which is fun..guess that can count as some cardio hehe. In the meantime while I am work out my meal plans I am doing a 2 week fatloss boot camp I found online. On day 4 of that which is cardio intervals and stretchs. Finding myself a little sore after 2 weeks off for Christmas/New Years. Gonna do the fit test tonight as well to see where I am at.
